Abstract excerpt
Zn(2+) exerts insulin-mimetic and antidiabetic effects in rodent models of insulin resistance, and activates extracellular-signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and protein kinase B (PKB), key components of the insulin signaling pathway. Zn(2+)-induced signaling has been shown to be associated with an increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR), as well as of insulin-like growth factor 1...
